Day Care Observations

Posted Sep 30 2009 10:58pm

I slipped into the chair beside him before he could jump up and fly away!

The group was in the middle of a toss game, trying to land various stuffed items on playing cards on the floor.

He leaned over to me and whispered, “This could take awhile.” I smiled inside.

There is every ability and disability present. The 3 males with Alzheimer’s are all gentle giants. Two sisters quibble and nitpick at each other (both are fine physically). One gentleman is wheelchair bound and another lady requires a walker. The other lady should have a walker but I think is trying to remain as independent as possible.

The staff should have accolades – they treat each person so well. When it was Wayne’s turn to stand at the green line for the toss, he faced 90 degrees right. As she just took his arm and turned him around, he tripped on her shoe. “I’m injured!” Everyone got a good laugh.

The next fellow got up to the line and stood with his back to it – again, patience and kindness for him.

these groups need volunteeers so if anyone should want to spend an hour or two – - -
